Just as God spoke to his people at Horeb and told them they had been comfortable long enough and to get moving, we too must recognize when our routine and contentment actually distracts from doing that which God would have us to do. We get too comfortable to move. Some of you know in your hearts right now that God is telling you it is time to move, whether physically to a new place He is calling you to or even spiritually. Instead you choose to stay where you are because it is “easier”. Maybe you truly are right where God wants you right now in terms of location or vocation. If that is the case, great! But still I challenge you to look for those areas in your life where you have become too comfortable. Maybe it’s time to volunteer in a new ministry at your church? Maybe it’s time to start a new devotion or quiet time plan with God. Maybe it is time to meet a new group of friends or join a new small group at church. I don’t know what it is with which you have become too comfortable but I am sure there is a routine in your life that is keeping you from fully experiencing all that God wants for you simply because it is easier. What is God asking you to do? Is it time to move out of your comfort zone? Is your comfortable life keeping you from experiencing all that God wants you to experience? I know God has something amazing waiting for you.
